@Joe Splitrock not all 401k/IRAs are protected.

I priced the needed materials out to under $1,000; again, all of my labor.

Hey @Joe Mazur thanks for the information.

@Joe Splitrock Exactly, I also spend a few hours and verify the #'s and have found some errors like a couple things mistakenly omitted, that's one thing, but putting out a wrong date in an email to all your clients who will rely on it is quite another.  

With $1400 for the install.Why I appreciated Jose:Cleaned and broomed after himselfWas very knowledgablePlumber by tradeInstalls ~3 boilers a week in the winterHas a few clean used boilers to choose from, but also offers to install new onesReasonable $1400 price, for his labor and assistant.Replaced a section of corroding pipe free of charge and without my askingProvided me with 4 references, 3 of which I called and had glowing reviewsDid all the work in one 14-hour day.

If you pay them for any clean up make sure you give them 1099 for labor at end of year. 

We did 95% of the labor ourselves.  

While many investors have access to below retail materials costs and good prices on labor, express the cost if you have to fix it for retail costs.

I'm in Northern Virginia, so if any of you investors out here want free labor, it would be my greatest pleasure to put some elbow grease into deals and just watch how they are done firsthand.
